Chris Paul has been fined for his confrontation with an offiical
Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul has been fined $35,000 (£27,000) for "aggressively confronting and recklessly making contact with a game official", but he will not be suspended.
Paul received his second technical foul and an automatic ejection when he argued with an official about a non-call with 4.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Rockets' 104-100 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena on Sunday.
Paul's outburst came after James Harden appeared to be fouled by Draymond Green while attempting a three-pointer.
After a scramble for the ball ended up in a ruling of Warriors' possession, Paul argued and made contact with an official.
